I have a test network that I am using to teach myself group policy. I am using a Dell latitude 6410 laptop as the client machine. The laptop is joined to the domain, the laptop can access the sysvol folder and all of the subfolders and users can login to their accounts. The problem is, none of the group policies are applying to the user on the laptop. The group policies are all user policies. I have been troubleshooting this problem for a week with no luck. I have decided to clear all the gpo's from the client computer with this method.
Open My Computer / Computer
In the URL or address bar paste: %windir%\system32\GroupPolicy.
Right click and delete the: Machine and User folders to clear local group policy cache.
Restart the computer to reapply the group policies.
When I get to the group policy folder, it only contains the DATASTORE folder. There is no MACHINE and USER folder there for me to delete. The DATA STORE folder contains a folder named 0. Inside of that folder is the SYSVOL folder and all of the sub folders. How can I fix this error? It may be the cause of the GPO's not applying.
I also captured the gpsrvc log file from the client machine. It's too large to add the post, so I have a gdrive link posted. Can someone take a look at the log. I am trying to teach myself how to analyze the gpsrvc logs, but I'm still not understanding it.
any help will be greatly appreciated
